I must say I don’t like the idea of a social-credit-score bot.

Regarding your implementation, I saw the summary of your own comments elsewhere in this post and I noticed all the annotations were on upvoted/blue segments. Other summaries you posted focused more on negative/red segments. Would it be possible to enforce a minimum of 1 or 2 from both categories?

Also, would you be kind enough to read my tea leaves? Am I an acceptable citizen of the Lemmy community?

Exactly, some people would complain about bringing back zombie threads, while others whine that people didn’t use the search feature to find existing threads on the topic. You can’t win either way with forum gatekeepers.
